The best way to do this is to get a commercial software EMS driver.  Two good 
packages are 386 to the Max and Qemm.  Both of these will convert your extended
memory into expanded memory.  I use Qemm regularly and have no problems.

I have heard that the IBM ems drivers are not very good, so I would stay away
from them.
